302 BIRDS OF TENASSERIM. 



fulvous brown, often with a distinct though slight olive tinge, 

 obscurely striated yellower ; middle of abdomen paler, some- 

 times almost albescent, but this is not constant, and here the 

 feeble yellow striations generally appear purer ; vent and tibial 

 plumes clear pale creamy buff ; lower tail-coverts pale, faintly 

 rufescent buff, in some specimens with an ochraceous tinge ; 

 tail slightly rufous brown ; upper tail-coverts decidedly rufes- 

 cent olive ; rest of upper parts dull, slightly rufescent, or perhaps 

 it might be called ochraceous olive, more rufescent or ochraceous 

 on the cap and wings, but in neither quite so much so as on the 

 upper tail-coverts ; shoulder of the wing, wing-lining and axil- 

 laries white, slightly tinged with pure yellow ; inner margins 

 of quills creamy white ; inner webs generally of quills hair 

 brown, not dark, and paling somewhat towards the tips. 



Some birds are altogether greener and more olivaceous, others 

 decidedly more ochraceous, especially on the lower parts.

Palaw-ton-ton ; Bankasoon ; Malewoon. 



Confined to the forests in the neighbourhood of the Pak- 

 chan. 



[I have almost always found this bird in pairs or singly, 

 very seldom more than two together, in thick forest, and thin 

 tree jungle, but never in clearings or gardens. Its note differs 

 much from that of the other Bulbuls, but is yet quite charac- 

 teristic of the group. It is a very noisy bird. Its habits and 

 food are similar to those of the preceding species. It never 

 descends to the ground. — W. D.]
